I think a lot of people are not seeing it because #89 is gone or for whatever reason...

But as a member of the Huddle for a long time, we have finally settled the age old WR2 problem. This is the first time in ages that we have a legitimate passing game.

Actually there is enough recieving threats on this team now that Shula needs to be on a short leash. There is no reason why this team should not be on it's way to a top 10 offense. Add this to our defense and we should have a legitimate shot at a superbowl.

The fact that we now have 2 Giants that can do this

It is going to put a Lot of pressure on defenses. It's going to be very tough for them to bring any safety in the box for run support in addition to Olson taking a LB away. If Williams and Turner can blast open some holes in the run game, our offense is going to be a well oiled machine.

I get the excitement.  

 

And it was awe-inspiring to know Funchess was high on our board and we went and got him (actually both he and Williams).

 

But anointing him the new #1 may be premature?  

Hey, it's May the official month of Annointing. Besides all that will shake out in camp and preseason.

 

Also him being the #1 doesn't mean he's better. It's just a different position. See my earlier post about X and Y receiver.

To me, it's irrelevant who's called the #1 or #2. Doesn't matter, as long as both are on the field at the same time. It'll be like the Giants trying to decide who's #1 and #2 between Victor Cruz and Odell Beckham jr. Who cares?! Just get them on the field at the same time.

 

That said, I do think DeVin will line up in the slot more, since he's had experience lining up as online and offline WR and TE. Rivera said he knew what everyone's job was,

Right on. I agree. And the slot in my scenario is the Y receiver...just so others know. I don't maybe some have heard those terms X, Y and Z receivers and didn't know what they were. And I think you're right. Funchess can play slot probably very well with his experience. Excited to watch this all play out.

Love it. I'm as excited about this guy as I was about Kelvin this time last year.

In Nippleshorts I trust. This dude can really spot talent, especially at receiver. Remember who he said was the only complete NFL ready receiver last year? Beckham. Then he drafted probably the 2nd best receiver in the class at 28. What a baller.

been watching him for two years now being a U of M fan and he is probably best in the slot or in the same roll as Jimmy Graham was used in while in NO his break away speed is amazing i think last year was ironically luck for panthers fans because of his injury being moved to another position and having to deal with Devin Gardener's inability to grow as a QB without all that falling in place and him replicating his numbers from 2013 he would have been a top 10-15 LOCK 

 

 

sorry for the lack of punctuation its a bad habit and just to let y'all know long time lurker (3-4 years now) just decided today to sign up for all pro and contribute my input since moving to the DC/MD area from SC there aren't too many people out here interested in my panthers banter lol

      They gave him franchise QB money. Sorry but if you don't earn it you can be embarrassed.   He's rich he can take it. Stop feeling sorry for people who can't live up to their contract. This isn't a sport to be soft. Daniels deserves to give back some of that money he stole if you ask me.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And it was coming off of a bye week. Perhaps he should vacation a bit in Germany in the off season, something certainly seemed to help him there.  No, really... He showed maturation and the possibility that he's turning a corner. That wasn't the NY Giants out there, but the back to back Super Bowl champions with the #3 defense in the league, with them coming off of a prime time loss. And that was a 9-1 team we just played literally down to the last second. Bryce played so well that maybe, maybe he wins over some nay-sayers. It's still early, though, but what a nice breath of fresh air that was. You can win quite a few games if that is your normal performance. It is obvious that we are still on the learning curve, though. But that was one helluva test he just took. Some of these QBs coming out of college just don't have a lot of games under their belts, especially in top end programs. They are perhaps just a year to two years behind center in games that matter before they move up. It can take them some time to hit their stride. We can still be cautious about our future and still celebrate a great game by the kid, though, and we should. He earned the laurels today, or had before they were snatched away at the last second.
